Why would anyone walk!We have been undeniably conned out of money owed to us with the shares worth £1400 September after allegedly the quietest time of the year.Then we have a busy Christmas all those Christmas cards with stamp revenue and parcels and has been busy right throughout and then guess what the shares dropped to Zero.What are the Union doing????People being bullied what are the union doing????Royal mail going back on deals???

Yes your right on a national level they have. Perhaps its time Billy stepped down for some newer blood :hmmmm

However on a local / area level your rep can still help you with the day to day problems which always appear within the office. Without your local rep you will simply get walked over.

Some local reps use the position as a stepping stone into management. I could provide proof but anonymity rules. Some local reps are absolute diamonds though.
Just spilt stain-remover down my shirt. Now how do I get that out?

why on earth can we not do anything about this
It's been done,was part of the bits for the last strike we had. :cuppa
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Left due to what o.p said amongst other things....Only left though as had another job same wages etc or would have had to grim and bear it, which is hard on those 3 month contracts. Still, 5 weeks after leaving and they are still trying to do me over :arrrghhh Still no holiday pay that i'm owed(At least 7 days) and also owed other money. Grievance was a waste of time, didn't even investigate it as far as i'm aware. Anyone have any past history with ACAS or Employment tribunal system??? sent E.Tribunal form off yest.
